2. Summary of the parties' arguments
A. The Defendant paid only KRW 1,200,000 out of the brokerage commission of the Plaintiff’s KRW 1,760,000, which was agreed upon by the Plaintiff, and thus, sought the remainder of KRW 560,000 and damages for delay.
B. The broker fee of the Defendant’s lease contract is KRW 1,760,000 on his own discretion. The Defendant did not agree with the Plaintiff on the broker fee of the instant lease agreement.

A. According to the statement in Gap evidence No. 1, the brokerage fee is KRW 1,760,000 in the confirmation statement and explanatory note of the object of brokerage attached to the instant lease agreement, and the defendant and the plaintiff are as follows.
